I have just bought a new rear MTB wheel without a cassette and wish to
put a 7 speed cassette on it the problem is identifying the part I require.
Are all Shimano Cassettes compatible with each other ?
For example, if I find a 7 speed cassette in any groupset family i.e.
alivio, xtr et al. can I buy in the knowledge that it will just work or
is it a black art known to the few ?
The Hub on the new wheel is the FH-M475
The previous cassette (on the old wheel) was a 7 speed but i've a
feeling this new hub is an 8/9 speed only - will an 8 speed cassette
work with my existing 7 speed deraileur ?
Just to add to the problem My intention has always been to put a Road
Cassette on to the MTB so if I have to upgrade the derailer can I just
get road set e.g. 105 series cassette, chain, derailer ?
Assuming I am not asking the impossible can I also assume that I need to
shorten the 105 chain.
Many Many thanks!
